Seniors' programmes
Many of our facilities offer a range of fitness and recreational programs for seniors as part of the City’s Seniors Programme. Our activities differ depending on the facility, but all encourage ‘active ageing’ where seniors maintain their health and fitness levels and keep active in the community.
Arts and crafts
Awaken your inner creative by joining our Arts and Crafts programme for seniors. The facilities that run the programme offer a range of formal and informal classes. Some seniors create crafts to sell to raise funds for their facility.
